Why do playwrights

misguidedly think that plays are a good medium for imparting biography? Just got back from a pretty mediocre play about Charles Lindbergh at the Lucille Lortel; however dinner at Andavi on Christopher Street was excellent, not by any means cheap but really delicious and a very attractive space. Play: not recommended; restaurant: highly recommended.

About Me

I have published four novels and two books about eighteenth-century British literature; my latest book is "Reading Style: A Life in Sentences." I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
